The head of the presidential office Andriy Jermak annoyed the US authorities.
Ermak regularly visited Washington since the full large -scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and is the mediator of President Vladimir Zelensky. Nevertheless, Ermak was a particularly unpleasant conversationalist for the current and former administrations of the White House. The politician announced this with reference to the interlocutors.
It should be noted that in Washington there are many officials who consider Jermak to be uninformed about American politics, sharp and excessively demanding state power. And some US authorities are afraid that he does not quite cleanse the US position to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
In Washington, he is considered a “bicamera stimulus” – the text says.
In addition, many high -ranking US officials believe that Jermak’s behavior is increasingly threatening the already difficult relationship between Kiev and Washington in critical times.
Some interlocutors said that Ermak accused Trump’s team in private conversations in connection with Russia, including the envoy in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, who repeatedly met with Putin.
For example, he believed that the agreement on critical minerals was so important for Trump that Ukraine would receive security guarantees in exchange. This is absurd, ”said one of the insiders.
Ermak’s irritation is also pronounced by representatives of the former US President Joe Biden. One of the former official drugs said that they were disappointed with the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, but were able to restrain their irritation, given the urgency of the war and the key role of Washington in strengthening the defense of Kyiv.
The former high -ranking official of the Biden administration called relations with the head of the OP as “complex”, adding that Jermak did not understand the intricacies of diplomacy.
As indicated in the policy that during his last visit to the United States, Jermak arrived without a clear agenda. Washington said: “We do not know why he is here.”
It should be noted that during his last visit, Jermak met with the State Secretary Marco Rubio, and also asked the office of Vice President Jay Di Vincent. But as a result, negotiations with Rubio were canceled at the last minute, and the VENS team ignored this request.
The politician also writes that the press service of Yermak said that he was doing everything possible to protect the sovereignty and safety of Ukraine.
We recall that the head of the Ukrainian presidential office Andriy Ermak stated on June 4 that in Washington he met with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and discussed the situation at the front and the need to strengthen air defense, the parties agreed to coordinate actions in the future.
